How do I move a door hinge out 1/8“ (door is too tight to the stop molding, makes ”paint popping" noise)?Paperstreet: note your second photo the one with "not increased" does not represent the original posting. Both sides of the door were painted, thus both the strike side and the hinge side were increased compared to the original hang. Moving the hinges restores the door position relative to the hinge side stop molding, and may (not in my case) require a matching adjustment on the strike. If the door had been perfect I'd have needed to move both hinges and strike out by the same amount (two credit card thicknesses is what I used).

How water proof is concrete?Get little USB key humidity meter and leave it down there for a week. And without question a 24 hour or 48 hour radon gas test.

Suggestions on finishing a concrete vaultYour humidity start too high given that setup. Insulating perfectly would remove the primary advantage of the underground location, in terms of temperature stability.
